Letters From Home by Bethanne Strasser + Giveaway

An
Army doctor, Lena Rodriguez has always been too busy with school or the
Army for romance. But the letters she received during deployment have
captured her heart. Back home for the holidays, she awaits Christmas
morning to meet the man who has turned her life upside down.

When
Zack Benson watched his best friend's sister Lena leave for
Afghanistan, he knew he had to tell her he loved her. So he sent her
anonymous love letters. Now that she’s home, he realizes he's made a
tactical error. Lena has fallen for the man in those letters but still
thinks of him as a brother. He has to convince her otherwise because if
he succeeds, he’ll get the best Christmas present ever. But if he fails,
he could lose her for good.

A
couple of years ago, my husband took that step and joined the Army. An
accountant by trade and finally fed up with a life that aggravated and
frustrated...always reaching for the almighty dollar, he came to me and
said, what if I join the Army?

Sure!
Please, join the Army. I want my happy husband back. :D I took my cue
from him. Though writing has been a part of my life for a long time, my
drive had settled in to an easy-going 55 mph. Not too fast, not too
slow, with an occasional burst of speed to thrill me.

I
write romance--suspense, contemporary, and an occasional paranormal. My
stories are full of life, family, and love. I write a lot. I have a lot
to share. I love stories that encompass the world. You can find me
reading just about any genre of romance, but my favorites are fast-paced
suspense, where life is on the line and love is the only saving grace. I
want a book that makes my heart pound and my pulse race.

While hubby was in VietNam, he did write, and we did send cassette tapes occasionally. We'd only been married about 7 or so weeks before he shipped overseas (and had only dated 4 months previous to that), so I guess the letters were a bit of love letters. We didn't promise to write everyday - and we didn't - but I cherished every letter I received.
